I think Tony is a better defender than Posey. During the summer when we were trying to sign Pose all the C's and Doc said TA was the best perimeter defender on the team. And this wasn't posturing for negotiating purposes. What Pose had over TA is experience. His man might go by him ten times, but when a stop was absolutely needed Pose would make the play. Pose just made big plays at big times both defensively and offensively. TA doesn't have that knack. Yet. Watch KG closely. His man gets by him alot, but when the game is really on the line KG won't let us down. KG is also a great help defender as was Posey. TA can take a charge when needed, but his role is to be a man on man stopper and he does that better than anyone on the team.
